Rebecca Cooke is running to unseat GOP incumbent Derrick Van Orden. Born and raised on an Eau Claire dairy farm, she graduated from the University of St. Thomas.
Cooke later returned to Eau Claire and opened a small retail business – Red’s Mercantile – that sourced goods from independent makers locally and throughout the country. She also founded the Red Letter Grant in 2016, a nonprofit that supports and empowers female entrepreneurs by providing start-up capital, technical assistance and authentic networking opportunities throughout a 18-county region of northwestern Wisconsin. As a result of this work, Gov. Tony Evers appointed Cooke to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
In 2024, Cooke ran for Wisconsin's 3rd District, losing by just 2 points in the general election and outperforming the top of the ticket by 7 points.
Rebecca has committed to standing up for J Street's pro-Israel, pro-peace values in Congress.
